For 6 years they've been looking for where I could be losing blood from. Upper and lower endoscopies. I swallowed a camera. They presume there's bleeding from within the GI tract. I just got over severe diverticulitis. I probably had diverticular bleeding.

I'm fine sitting or reclining. On my feet, I feel close to collapsing. I can't face that emergency dept again. It's pandemonium. Some nurses are mean. Tues I go for I/V iron. I want to hang on for that.
